From "A Note to the Reader"—"These notes present a clear discussion of the actions and thought of the work under consideration and a concise interpretation of the artistic merits and significant.

"THE NOTES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TEXT ITSELF OR FOR THE CLASSROOM DISCUSSION OF THE TEXT, AND THE STUDENT WHO SO ATTEMPTS TO USE THEM IS DENYING HIMSELF THE VERY EDUCATION THAT HE IS PRESUMABLY GIVING HIS MOST VITAL YEARS TO ACHIEVE."

Measure for Measure has been labeled as one of Shakespeare's comedies. With its twists and turns, plots and sub-plots, lies and half-truths it is had at times to follow. Is Claudio, the nobleman, alive or dead? Is Angelo good or evil (Hint: think evil)? Is Vincentio, the Duke of Vienna, on a journey or not? Overall an interesting tale, though maybe not entirely a comedy as we know them.
